DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.120

Expanded Windows PowerShell Integration

PowerShell support on Windows has been improved with smarter shell selection and better error handling:

  • Shell selection now falls back gracefully: if defaultShell is set to "bash" but Git Bash isn't installed, PowerShell is used instead, and vice versa
  • The shell setting description now reads "Defaults to bash (powershell on Windows without Git Bash)"
  • Clipboard operations on Windows now use proper argument arrays instead of concatenated strings for safer command execution
  • Clear error messages guide users when neither Git Bash nor PowerShell is available:
  • "Claude Code on Windows requires either Git for Windows (for bash) or PowerShell"
  • Hook errors now suggest "Install Git for Windows, or add shell: powershell to this hook's config"
Evidence

Shell fallback logic in g24() function — search for "Git Bash not found" and "CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
